  • Photos
    Cora and Carl
    Probably from about 1912 when Carl was 15 and Cora 16.
    Carl Nundahl, mid-teens
    The original is a postcard. No writing on it other than Cora's annotation "Carl Nundahl."
    Carl Nundahl, mid-to-late-teens
    The original is a postcard with Cora's annotation "My Cousin Carl N."
    Carl Nundahl, about 20
    The original is a postcard addressed, but with no stamp and apparently mailed in an envelope, to Mrs. Maurice Carlson. The message is "From Cousin Carl." The handwriting is extremely good and it's written with a fountain pen. Cora also had another copy of the postcard with no writing on it other than her annotation "Cousin Carl N."

    Norma believes that this is a picture of Tillman and not Carl.
    Cora and the Nundahl kids
    Probably from about 1914. If so, Cora is 18, Carl is 17, Clara is 16, and Tillman is 12. This is about the time that Cora went to Minneapolis for three months.
    Odin Olson and Carl Nundahl
    From 1920 or 1921. Probably taken in front of Bertha and Sever's house.
    Ole Torger school, 1905 or 1906
    Cora Anderson is in the light dress, 3rd from the left after the teacher. Clara Nundahl is in a light dress five students to the right of Cora. Carl Nundahl is fifth from the right, partially hidden behind another boy. We know that this is from the 1905-1906 school year because that was the only year that Alice Anderson Johnson taught at Ole Torger.
    Ole Torger school, about 1910
    Cora, about 14, is fourth from the left in the back and Clara, about 12, is third from the left. That's Carl Nundahl, about 13, third from the right in the back. Tillman, who would have been 8 or 9, may be the boy in the middle of the picture or the boy next to Carl.

    The original is a postcard. No photographer indicated.

    The school Cora attended is referred to as “The Ole Torger School - District #8” in the Vernon County 150 Years book. A description of the history of the school, by Wesley Clayton Slack, is as follows:

    “The Ole Torger School started in a white wood frame one-room building with pillars on the front porch on land obtained from Ole Torger, hence the name. Many of the students spoke Norwegian so had to learn English."
    Carl and Mearl Nundahl
    Taken in October of 1921 when they were married.

    The original is mounted in a brown folder with an oval opening. The studio is Jasperson, Viroqua, Wis. On the back Cora has written "My Cousin Carl Nundahl & Merle."
